In this study, to improve an existing ground-wave based time broadcasting system, a study that predicts the field distribution and field strength of the transmitted signal of a new ground-wave based time broadcasting system was performed. The prediction area was assumed to be the Korean peninsula; and to reflect the mountainous terrain of the Korean peninsula in the prediction of the variations of field distribution and field strength, a new prediction method based on the Monteath model was proposed and utilized. As field distribution changes depending on the position of a transmitter station, potential sites for the transmitter station were selected considering the geographical characteristics. In this regard, the ground conductivity information of North Korea cannot be obtained, and thus, the ground conductivity of the North Korean region was reflected considering the geological characteristics of South Korea and North Korea. Based on this, the variations of field distribution and field strength were predicted by setting the Korean peninsula as the prediction area, and the prediction results depending on the position of the transmitter station were discussed.

Rational scaling of design earthquake ground motions for tall buildings is essential for safer, risk-based design of tall buildings. This paper provides the structural designers with an insight for more rational scaling based on drift and input energy demands. Since a resonant sinusoidal motion can be an approximate critical excitation to elastic and inelastic structures under the constraint of acceleration or velocity power, a resonant sinusoidal motion with variable period and duration is used as an input wave of the near-field and far-field ground motions. This enables one to understand clearly the relation of the intensity normalization index of ground motion (maximum acceleration, maximum velocity, acceleration power, velocity power) with the response performance (peak interstory drift, total input energy). It is proved that, when the maximum ground velocity is adopted as the normalization index, the maximum interstory drift exhibits a stable property irrespective of the number of stories. It is further shown that, when the velocity power is adopted as the normalization index, the total input energy exhibits a stable property irrespective of the number of stories. It is finally concluded that the former property on peak drift can hold for the practical design response spectrum-compatible ground motions.

본 논문에서는 구면 영상에서 영역 분할 정보를 사용하여 바닥 영역을 검출하는 방법을 제시한다. 평면 영상에서의 Watershed 영역 분할 방법을 수정하여 구면 영상의 영역 분할에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 영역들을 분할한 뒤 가정된 바닥 영역 픽셀의 색상과 질감을 그 외의 영역들과 비교하여 바닥 영역을 검출한다. 구면 파노라마 영상에서는 구면 왜곡으로 인하여 평면에서의 바닥 검출 방법을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. 구면 왜곡을 고려한 바닥 영역 검출을 위하여 바닥 영역의 외곽선을 검출하는 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 실험에서 지상물이 없는 경우와 있는 경우의 모두에서 적절하게 바닥 영역을 검출할 수 있는 결과를 보였다.

Excavation usually induces considerable ground settlement in soft ground, which may result in damage of adjacent buildings. Generally, the settlement is predicted through elastic-plastic finite element method and empirical method with defects. In this paper, an analytical solution for predicting ground settlement induced by excavation is developed based on the definition of three basic modes of wall displacement: T mode, R mode and P model. A separation variable method is employed to solve the problem based on elastic theory. The solution is validated by comparing the results from the analytical method with the results from finite element method(FEM) and existing measured data. Good agreement is obtained. The results show that T mode and R mode will result in a downward-sloping ground settlement profile. The P mode will result in a concave-type ground settlement profile.

In the present study, the effects of six different ground motion scaling methods on inelastic response of nonlinear steel moment frames (SMFs) are studied. The frames were designed using energy-based PBPD approach with the design concept using pre-selected target drift and yield mechanism as performance limit state. Two target spectrums are considered: maximum credible earthquake spectrum (MCE) and design response spectrum (DRS). In order to investigate the effects of ground motion scaling methods on the response of the structures, totally 3216 nonlinear models including three frames with 4, 8 and 16 stories are designed using PBPD approach and then they are subjected to ensembles of ground motions including 42 far-fault and 90 near-fault pulse-type records which were scaled using the six different scaling methods in accordance to the two aforementioned target spectrums. The distributions of maximum inter-story drift over the height of the structures are computed and compared. Finally, the efficiency and reliability of each ground motion scaling method to estimate the maximum nonlinear inter-story drift of special steel moment frames designed by energy-based PBPD approach are statistically investigated, and the most suitable scaling methods with the lowest dispersion for two groups of earthquake ground motions are introduced.

This paper deals with the frequency-dependent ground impedance of ground grids combined with the carbon ground electrodes. Ground grids are generally valid for multipurpose grounding systems as well as lightning protection systems. The carbon ground electrodes may be supplementarily used to reduce the high frequency ground impedance and to improve the transient response to surge currents. The frequency-dependent ground impedances of ground grids combined with or without the carbon ground electrodes were measured and their simulations with due regard to frequency-dependent soil resistivity were implemented by using EMTP program and Matlab modeling. As a consequence, the ground impedance of ground grids combined with the carbon ground electrodes is significantly reduced when the test current is injected at the terminal of the carbon ground electrode. The measured and simulated data for the test ground grids fairly agree with each other. It was found that the proposed method of simulating the frequency-dependent ground impedance is distinguished. The simulation techniques of predicting accurately the ground impedances without actual measurements can be used in the design of grounding systems based on ground grids and the carbon ground electrodes.

A simplified probability-based design charts for stone column-improved ground have been presented based on the unit cell approach. The undrained cohesion ($c_u$) and coefficient of radial consolidation ($c_r$) of the soft soil are taken as the most predominant random variables. The design charts are developed to estimate the diameter of the stone column or the spacing between the stone columns by employing a factored design value of $c_r$ and $c_u$ so as to satisfy a specific probability level of the target degree of consolidation and/or a target safe load that needs to be achieved in a specified timeframe. The design charts can be used by the practicing engineers to design the stone column-improved ground by considering consolidation and /or bearing capacity of the improved ground.

This paper presents a method for assessing the dynamic responses of gravity-based structures (GBS) under various seismic loads, with a focus on fluid-structure-ground interactions. Models of GBSs and their surrounding environments were developed, incorporating interaction effects among the structure, seawater, and seabed. Dynamic responses of the GBS subjected to three seismic loads-Chi-Chi, Northridge01, and Northridge02-were calculated, with consideration of both horizontal and vertical accelerations, as well as displacements. Parametric studies indicated that the primary factors affecting the dynamic responses of GBS were seismic loads characterized by significant input forces and accelerations. The frictional force on the ground had minimal impact on the horizontal and vertical displacements of the GBS. Weight emerged as a critical factor in anchoring the GBS to the ground and minimizing vertical accelerations and displacements.

최근지반굴착 공사의 증가로 인해 지반침하사고 발생 가능성은 점점 높아지고 있지만, 지하안전관리에 관한 특별법 제정 등 제도적인 강화에도 불구하고 지반침하사고를 근본적으로 예방하는 것은 매우 어려운 실정이다. 도심지 지반굴착의 여러 사례를 살펴보면, 굴착 전에 다양한 정보를 활용해 예측했던 지반침하 거동특성은 시공 중에 확인된 결과와 무시할 수 없을 정도의 차이를 보이고 있다. 이러한 원인은 지반조건의 변화, 지반침하 예측방법의 한계, 설계와 착공 시기의 계절적인 차이, 현장여건을 고려한 공법의 변경 및 기타 다양한 사유에 의한 장기간의 공사 중지 등의 현장 여건 변경이 주요 원인으로 고려될 수 있다. 이에 대응하기 위한 방안으로, 다양한 시공정보를 통한 안전관리시스템 도입을 예를 들 수 있으나 아직까지는 굴착으로 인한 영향 및 위험도를 예측할 수 있는 시스템은 부재한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 도심지 굴착사업의 설계·시공에 있어서 지반침하와 주변 구조물에 미치는 굴착 영향도를 사전에 예측하고 위험도 평가를 할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였으며, 과거에 획득된 현장계측 데이터를 통해 현재 및 장래 지하수위와 침하량 등을 예측할 수 있는 시계열 분석기법과 지반공학 데이터 시각화(Geotechnical Data Visualization, GDV) 기술을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 웹기반 평가시스템을 통해 과거에 획득된 데이터를 이용하여 현재 및 장래 지하수위 변화 및 침하량 예측 등 굴착으로 인한 위험도 예측 및 관리가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
